My best at home date night with my husband was a night that I came home from work and he had cleaned the house and made me my favorite dinner(spaghetti). We got our plates and watched a romantic comedy and then took it to the bedroom. :) It was a great night because I felt special and loved by all my husband did for me and the thoughtfulness he put into the night. And it goes to show you, you don't need a lot of money to have a wonderful date with your husband!

My husband and I were stressed out with work and finance problems and wanted to get away for a night of camping after I got off of work. While I was at work it started to rain. When I got home there was a note attached to a head lamp that was hanging on the door knob. "Put this on." As I walked through the pitch black house, with the head lamp on, the hall way was lit with jars with candles inside. I got to the living room and the tent was set up and a fake fireplace heater was going in front of the tent. He had everything set up, the sleeping bags, the lanterns, the portable radio, glow in the dark stars on the ceiling, sticks, and a bag of marshmallows. We sat in the sleeping bags and pretended to roast marshmallows on the fake fire and told ghost stories. We never once turned on the lights and we slept in the tent that night. It was an amazing night under the stars in our living room.

The best at-home date I've ever had with my soon-to-be husband involved building a tent in the living room. We arranged the chairs from the dining room so the backs formed a square and then draped blankets all over the top, just like I used to when I was little. We watched old cartoons and munched on Chinese takeout- our favorite- and kept snuggled up under the tent long after our movies were over. Though very simple and silly, we had so much fun laughing and building together and acting like kids; it was a great change from our normal, serious routines!

Our best at home date was fairly recent. I had just gotten a kitchen torch and I was reading The Nest. It had all these kitchen torch recipes, so I offered to make french onion soup, one of our favorite dishes. I also knew that he would love creme brulee, so I made it ahead of time. He came home and made steak au poivre, homemade mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. It was a very French meal, complete with delicious wine. It was great to cook, listen to sexy music during dinner, and eat creme brulee during an episode of Dexter. Wow, I want another one of those dates!

The best at home date night we have ever had was valentine's day a few years ago. We were in college and decided not to spend money for gifts. We spent the evening in, feeding each other chocolate fondue with raspberries and strawberries curled up on the couch. (I did spend money on the fondue set..woops!) We had planned on watching a movie, but ended up talking....and "talking" the rest of the night! His gift was a list of 100 reasons why he loves me. It made me cry and it made me laugh hysterically. It was the most memorable gift he's given me in our 8 years together! :)

The best at home at home date night is when we invited my grandparents over to our house for a double ate we ordered pizza and watched some movies and talked about married life it was great

This is easy. The best at home date I've ever had was about six years ago. We had been dating for about two months. We had said to each other the entire time that we weren't looking for anything serious, but it was obvious that we were both falling head over heels for each other. My family had planned a vacation in Nashville, TN for a week in a half. My date and I were missing each other so much that we were calling each other each night on the phone to say our sweet "goodnights". Upon coming back to Colorado from my family vacation, I met up with him at his house. What he did for me was unforgettable. He tracked down all of my girlfriends and brought every single candle they owned into his bedroom in the basement of his house, set up a dining table with roses and music also. When I walked down into his room in basement, I was shocked. He had cooked me an extravagant five course dinner. His friend, who is a chef, helped him with recipes and made sure he cooked everything perfectly for me that night. He put so much effort into making it the perfect night for both of us. It was at that moment that I realized how special our relationship was. It was then that we both knew we were falling in love. And now, all these years later, we are getting married this May.

When we first started dating my now fiance and I lived over a hundred miles apart. For my first visit to his house planned a really great day trip. He drove us up to the Yosemite mountains to see the gorgeous view. But while up there he got very sick and it wasn't a pretty sight... I had to drive us back to his house while he slept in the truck. Once we arrived I managed to find my way around his kitchen and make him some soup. We sat together for hours eating soup, talking, laughing and just falling in love. It was the best at-home date ever and it was completely unplanned.

Our best date night at home was when he surprised me one evening with homemade dinner of ribs and homemade mashed potatoes... the same dinner he made the night we got engaged. It was on the 50th day we had been married. He then had the wedding DVD in the player and we watched our ceremony for the first time together. Let's just say he was rewarded later that night! :)

My husband and I love to challenge each other to new things. My favorite at-home date night was an evening when we each picked out a different Indian food recipe to make, We went to the store to stock up on ingredients and then each cooked a different dish; he chose a curried lentil dish and I chose a spicy potato dish. We then sampled the other's masterpiece, sitting on the rug in front of the fire. After dinner we played our favorite (albeit nerdy) game, strip scrabble.

The best at-home date that my fiance and I have had was after a few months of being away from each other (military), he came home, cooked an amazing dinner (the works, steak (cooked perfectly might I add, baked potato, bread). It was all so delicious and from the heart. We spent the entire evening sitting on the couch, cuddling and enjoying each others company. We watched a little television and slow danced. This was the best at-home date for me because we had both were so real and so in tune with how we felt about each other. It was obvious how much we cared about each other without words.

the best date night we ever had was actually far from it! My husband and I have known each other for 14 years,since high school, so we have had many romantic and fun times. however my favorite evening memory was about 3 years ago. Our son was about a year old, and it was flu season. both my husband and i were sick with the flu, sneezing, coughing congested.. the works. My mom kept my son overnight so he would be safe frome our germs. My husband and i had not had much alone time since our son was born, so it was nice just to be with each other without distractions. somehow, even as sick as we were, we had a great time watching TLC home improvement shows while passing a kleenex box and vaporub back and forth, and eating taco bell takeout that neither of us could taste. But we had so much fun it was hysterical because we were both so sick. But there is something weirdly romantic about being able to still enjoy being together when you both are so far below par. we did survive, and we still joke about taking another sick day together!

My husband and I have been married two weeks. While we are still quite new to married life, we value the time we do get to spend together. My favorite at-home date night, so far, took placa a few weeks before our wedding. The night before, in pre-marital counseling, I revealed how hard it was not knowing how he (my fiance at the time) often felt about me. I am very vocal and he is not. The next night, he beat me home. After a long day of working with stressed out kids, all I wanted to do was go to sleep. He met me at my car with flowers and helped me take my things inside. I could already smell dinner on the stove. He told me to relax and that dinner would be ready soon. We left the tv off and we had one of the best conversations about our relationship since we first started dating. Even though it is tough to get lovey-dovey stuff from him sometimes, that night reminded me how lucky I am to have such a great guy. He made time to focus on me and that speaks more to me than words.

I am a newlywed and when we got married we were both full time students, had part time jobs and very involved in our community church. It was all very stressful and were not home 5 out of the 7 days in a week. So one night we dedicated a night to us. We love snack food so we bought little appetizers. Turned off the computer, phones and tv and played bored games. Just us all night. It was a sweet getaway where noone could reach us and we were just having fun like the dating days =)

The best at home date night my husband and I had actually was a surprise to both of us. We live in Madison, WI and this past December we had a huge snow storm. Both of the restaurants we work at closed down and we were pretty much forced to stay in. We broke open the wine and spent the night sipping wine and cooking up a giant pot of Jalapeno Soup, to warm us up. We put a fire on and cozied up as the snow piled up around us.

My husband is great at suprising me with home date nights often. My favorite time was when I came home and when I opened the door there was dinner ready on separate plates on the table. Dessert on its own plate in the center with wine and flowers and a card. As I walked in music started playing (in a room only lit with candles) and he walked out in a suit, asked if he could have the dance and we danced to the song we danced to at our wedding. I melted!
